For a little over a month now we have been updating the HoneyRock Blog every weekday.  As you know, we've have multiple reasons for doing this, but mainly it's been about connecting with and encouraging HoneyRockers who are all over the country and the world.  We've tried to share our thoughts in a way that keeps people connected with HoneyRock and our mission, but also in a way that inspires people to action. We've intentionally tried not to make this blog about marketing HoneyRock to the world.  Unfortunately today's post may feel a little bit like marketing, so I'm sorry about that.

I got a call a few days ago from a mom who was interested in giving a HoneyRock camp experience to her kids for Christmas.  I was excited to get her call.  What a great idea!  She basically shared with me that she was just tired of her kids getting more stuff, more video games, more clothes, and more junk they don't need.  She was going to share the idea with Grandma and Grandpa and see if they would consider giving the kids a HoneyRock camp experience as a present this year.

I know many of you are in shopping mode and are searching for gifts.  I encourage you to consider giving your kids HoneyRock this Christmas.  If you're a camper reading this - ask your mom and dad or grandma and grandpa for HoneyRock camp this Christmas.

This year we have many financial assistance programs available to help you afford camp.  We have lots of scholarship money to give away and multiple incentive programs to help you, including our new matching program.  Please take advantage of them.  Click here for more information.

Have a blessed weekend!
